India the Sub Continent is covered by the three seas from three sides –
the Pacific, Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. The entire southern coast
line is covered by the blazing blue line, the white foams and the sea life.
Its an abstract which covers the base line of India. In these come the
beautiful beaches of
Lakshadweep,
Andaman and Nicobar, less we forget the beaches of Goa and South India. All
these running in the lines of Indian Coastline have the most awesome beaches
of all. Rest - Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.
If you are looking for something beautiful and peaceful then there can be
nothing better than the Islands of
Andaman and
Nicobar. Away from the frenzy city, not a part of the Jostle. Here begins a
life which is as silent and pleasant as the morning sunshine.
Walk in the pure white sands of sea beaches of Lakshadweep Islands. See the
coral reefs and the tortoise swimming here. (The Lakshadweep Islands are the
only Islands in India which have the Coral Reefs). Watch out the thrill of
discovery and the access to the seascape well beyond the bounds of the human
discovery imagination. Play with the froth, swim in the layers of waters,
feel the touch of the reefs, dip into the sea and the sea animals for
yourself. There are also a number of water sports which can be carried out
here. The two most popular sea adventures of Lakshadweep islands are –
Snorkeling and
Parasailing.
There are regular classes for learning Snorkeling and sea swimming. Access
the white sands and the peacock blue waters with your hands. Be here to see
the paintings of the
Goa
– all in the formative states. Be in Lakshadweep.....
Kadmat, Bangaram, Agatti, Kavaratti, Minicoy and Kalpeni are the only
islands which are open for the tourists out of the 600 islands Lakshadweep
has. One has to pre – book the hotels and the airways/ cruisers as
there is always a queue in waiting.
Another beauty of the sea lies in the South. But the Southern Beaches come
with a difference. Most of the beaches of South have a Temple or either are
made by the Temple Shore. One of the most spectacular sea shore Temples can
be found in South India. With a lot of people moving around these beaches do
not make a peaceful place. The best thing around here is to come along the
entire family and see the children running around. Most of these beaches do
not have the sea adventures but still are good places to be around.
Strolling, taking a sip of the coconut water or going into the sea by boat
is one of the best things to do. But if you are in South India, then don't
forget to see the Sea Shore Temple of Mamallapuram or todays Mahabalipuram.
In addition to this, some of the most famous South Indian Beaches are
Varkala Beach,
Marari Beach,
Mahabalipuram Beach and
Kovalam Beach.
The last but not the least are the beaches of Goa. Goa – the name
itself adds vigor to the nerves – a place for fun. The life in goa,
does not go on by living but moves on with life. Nightlife, dance clubs,
parties all are part of the daily life of Goa. Happy as they, if nothing
goes on then the street life goes on..... The beaches of Goa are livelier
than the life of Goa. Dolphins, Coconut Feni, sea beach parties, riders –
all are a part of the beaches of Goa. Wherever, there is beach in Goa –
there is life. Just like the sands of Puri, the Goa beaches too have the
sand idols. With particular beaches for this work, the Goa life has special
classes for those who want to learn this art. Some of the Goa beaches also
have the Goan Churches – but these you will find in the Old Goa.
Beaches like the
Calangute,
Colva,
Anjuna, Baga are the most
famous beaches of Goa.... Beaches like any other part of the nature are a
reflection. To keep them in the beautiful form as they are, keep them clean
and not litter.....
